Half baked

The lessons wouldn’t be bad if the app were fixed.

I have to type in my user ID every time I use the app, and the passwords app can only auto fill the password.

The app has odd glitches sometimes too.

It had an option read narrator the text, but it’s greyed out so we can’t use it, if you don’t have the option don’t show it.

I don’t even know how long I have left, there isn’t a place telling me how many lessons I have left.

Please at least update the login stuff, and tell me how many lessons are left.
(This was expensive.)

Fix the login

Every time I switch the app to the background, I’m logged out and have to sign in again. On top of that, use the “Remembered Username” option isn’t available because it’s hidden underneath another field. I had to sign in at least six times in a single day, which is incredibly frustrating. Please fix the login persistence and the hidden username option.

Good app

Good app and helped me learn the rules of boating

Told to use this didn’t work

Purchased course in browser and told to download app because of issues with the mobile websites issues with viewing the course. Download this app and it doesn’t let me login.

poor website

paid for one course giving me the wrong one tried emailing but its giving me a 404 code that says i cant email i open the app and it says i dont even have a course so now i’ve probably just lost 80 dollars and still dont have a course

God awful

Terrible

How do you even login?!

I downloaded the app just to be hit with nothing but a username and password thing like I had already been in the app. I tried tapping around the screen looking for something hidden or whatever and came up with nothing. If you’re confused like I am don’t download this app. Also if the developer comments on this review tell me how to do it

Engaging & Efficient

Highly recommend. Finished it in 4 hours over a couple of sessions. I really enjoyed this format on my phone for EDU/certification. This is the course you want.

can’t get my certificate

when i try to get my certificate it refuses to let me print it or even see it! i did this before on the website before the app was created and didnt finish. it expired and I used an entirely different login the only same thing i used was my email and password. but now that I’m done with the interactive + one it keeps bringing me back to my expired lesson! I payed 106 dollars for the ED+ and got scammed. i’m just praying i will still get my card.

Insanely easy and definitely work the extra $30

Very interactive, helped me remain focused the entire time and retain the information, was able to get my boating safety certification within a few hours, absolutely loved it! Ignore the low ratings, this is the way to go about getting your certification!

Just a login screen

When I opened it for the first time, it just popped up a login prompt. There aren't any instructions or links on how to get an account.

Boating license

Got my boating license in about 3 hours, very easy and worth the money!!

Response from developer

Great to hear! Have a great boating season!

Longer then 2 1/2 hours

False advertising and casts 30
Extra dollars. Don’t buy it. 🗑️

Response from developer

Sorry to hear your frustration. The course length is not dictated by use but by NASBLA and your state authority responsible for boating safety. By law the course must be at least 2.5 hours. Our data indicate the average completion time is 3 hours compared to 8 hours for our traditional course. Thus it is faster to complete. Individual completion times will of course vary from student to student.

Fire extinguisher

I tried multiple times to extinguish fire with fire extinguisher. I had 2 green check marks and it would not extinguish fire and failed me each time.

Response from developer

To complete this activity you must aim in the correct zone, just like with a real fire. We even provide you with a clue to that zone on your second attempt. Boating safety requires precision. Close enough is not good enough.

Great but kind of expensive.

Is easy and simple but little expensive for ED plus, other then that is easy to learn and faster.

Response from developer

Glad you liked it! The cost is reflective of the resources required to create real-life simulations. Plain text courses are less expensive because they are just words on a screen. Happy boating!

Sucks

Won’t let me get on with my login

Response from developer

Please contact customer service for assistance.

The app is great for learning and studying

This app is great. I am currently working on getting my boat license. I am 13 years old. It’s been working great other than I struggle with reading and the voice that is meant to read out loud to me does not work other than that fact this app is great and has helped me through it so far.

Won’t login

I completed the whole course went to click on the final exam and it wouldn’t let me. Just kept loading. I swiped up on the app. Went to go log back in and now it’s still load. Won’t let me in the app please help.

Won’t log in

After completing the course, I clicked on take final exam, it got stuck for 10 mins, closed the app and tried logging in, it stuck on log in page too.

Can’t login

I tried reaching out and can’t login. It allows me to add my username but as soon as I add my email it says it is invalid. I try resetting my password and it is impossible. I tried reaching out and there is no number or email to be found.
